Chapter 214: How many times do you have to ask
Everyone waited with bated breath for him to say the name of the murderer, but "Mori Kogoro" began to reason.
He sat on the top floor of the bombed undersea restaurant, as if he were sitting in his own back garden, and said comfortably and slowly:
"It can be seen from the handprint on Miss Yamauchi's back that the murderer used his right hand; But in the photo that the Twilight Police Department showed us earlier, Murakami is left-handed. ”
"So, who the hell is the murderer?" Others are still scratching their heads.
Shiratori, who was doing first aid, paused slightly, and Minoru Nishina, who was lying flat in front of him, suddenly spat out a puff of water, and then coughed violently. I don't know if it was the first aid of the Shiratori Police Department that worked, or if Minoru Nishina himself was scared awake by this turning case.
The suspenseful atmosphere that lingered on the scene made Conan feel more comfortable, and his thinking became clearer and clearer, and his voice was full of confidence:
"Don't you think it's strange that it's the same murderer, but some of the attacks are like a joke, they hurt but not fatal; Some are like what happened to Hiroki Tsuji and Nana Koyamauchi, and if something happens, they will die. ”
"Is that so?" , The Twilight Police Department touched his stomach unconsciously, "It turns out that the murderer is playing with me...... I thought I would survive thanks to my fatness. ”
"Uh...... In short, it's better to think so. The reason why the murderer attacked in reverse order was not to take revenge on me, but that the name of the person he really wanted to kill contained numbers, so he made such a play with the contradiction between Murakami and me, so as to cover up his true purpose and blame Murakami for all the crimes. ”
“……”
This conjecture is indeed bold, but I don't know if it is because the tone of "Maori Kogoro" is too determined, and the more I listen to it, the more it makes sense......
The Twilight Police Department is worried about the usual Maori Kogoro, and how much trust it has in the "sleeping Kogoro".
He asked the same question that he had already asked twice again with anticipation, "Since you said so, you should know who the murderer is, right?" ”
"Yes, the murderer is among us." Conan said as he felt that something was not right, and couldn't help but poke his head out from behind the pillar and glance at the "white tree" squatting next to Minoru Nishina.
Reasoning until now, I haven't been interrupted and then directly pointed out the murderer, which feels really ......
It's so much fun!!
Reasoning is supposed to be gradual and link-by-link!!
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his head with peace of mind, and still didn't say who the murderer was, but as he was used to before, he first threw out a question:
"Officer Shiratori, what did you do before giving Mr. Nishina artificial respiration?"
"Huh?" , Shiratori was suddenly named, he didn't understand the intention of "Maori Kogoro", and said inexplicably honestly, "Of course, it is to clean up the foreign object first, let him tilt his head back, and clear the airway......"
Speaking of this, Conan suddenly interrupted him: "What if you don't confirm that the airway is open, but pretend to be artificial respiration, and actually secretly block the mouth and nose of the drowning person?" ”
"How? Of course I'm dead! Shiratori said this, and suddenly reacted.
He let out an "ah", turned his head suddenly, and looked at Sawaki Fair, who had taken the initiative to ask Ying to do artificial respiration for Minoru Nishina: "Do you want to say ......?"
"That's right, the person who killed Mr. Asahi, Miss Koyamauchi, and also tried to kill Mr. Tsujihiro and Mr. Nishina, is-"
He wanted to raise Kogoro Mori's arm as usual, and he was full of momentum to point at the murderer...... But the flower bed was a little wide, and he couldn't reach anything hidden behind the pillar, so he could only regretfully give up this idea and directly announce the answer, "Sawaki is fair!" ”
"Nonsense ......", of course, Sawaki Fair also wanted to refute it, but before he spoke, he suddenly fell into a trance and shivered not very obviously. At that moment, it was as if a fine web of ice had penetrated his skull, and a fine sieve swept through his brain...... Fortunately, this terrifying sense of exposure lasted for a short time and quickly disappeared.
He stood dazed, and after a moment shook his head vigorously, thinking it was a hallucination caused by the sea breeze in his wet clothes.
……
At the same time, they were tens of meters down from where they were.
Bai Shu withdrew his gaze to look upward, and without pausing in his hand, he tied a few knots with a translucent object that was the length of his index finger and kept twisting, and pressed it towards the bronze mirror.
After watching it struggle to sink into the mirror like an earthworm sinking into the earth, Bai Shu stuffed the bronze mirror back into his pocket and looked at the huge and complex bomb in front of him, "Tear it down......
Two fingers slashed across a line like scissors, and the thick wire snapped at the sound.
Originally, it wasn't in his plan to defuse the bomb, he wanted the door panel to be improvised, and the bird was idle anyway...... Whoever wants to turn his head after grabbing the nail happens to see this thing installed nearby, and it can't be easier to dismantle.
Shiraki glanced at the useless marine debris with satisfaction, and turned to float.
……
On the rooftop of the undersea restaurant.
Because of Sawaki's sudden sway, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
After such a moment's pause, Conan had already pointed out the evidence that he had killed Nana Koyamauchi.
- He speculated that one of Sawaki's pockets contained a red wine cork that Nana Yamauchi had painted, and that when she was attacked in the dark, she turned around and grabbed the killer and secretly put the small object in his pocket. That's when the fake nail crumbled.
As Sawagi struggled to keep up with his mind and slowly groped for his pockets, "Maori Kogoro" had already begun to say his motive for the crime:
"I thought, maybe it's a taste disorder. Conan told me that when he was in the kitchen, he had seen Sawaki tasting the chili peppers in the cabinet. The tongue is the life of a taster, and they don't usually get so exposed to spicy stuff...... As for the cause of taste disorders, I've heard that it's usually related to head trauma and mental stress. ”
"Head trauma?" , The officer's thinking was finally mobilized, and Twilight instantly thought of one thing, "Miss Koyamauchi said about the car accident before, is the victim ......?"
"That's right." , a voice interrupted him, but it wasn't from Conan.
Sawaki looked down at the cork in his hand, and the big head grinned strangely on it, as if mocking his failure.
Maybe it's out of long-suppressed resentment, or maybe Sawaki Fair has finally awakened the basic skills of the prisoners in this world......
In short, when he saw this piece of evidence that was not in the plan, he broke the jar and broke it, and not only began to help the decent people answer difficult questions, but also took the initiative to come up with new evidence, like a little assistant to explain.
- What he found in his inner pocket was a poker card soaked in water.
On the back is the familiar black and red square, and on the obverse, the only Ace of Spades in the thirteen chapters that has not been used.
